{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2014464","date":"2014-10-20","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Suspension","summary":"On certain vehicles, if the rear axle trailing arms are damaged in a rear or side-rear impact crash and a repair facility does not correctly diagnose or replace damaged rear axle components, rear trailing arm durability could be reduced, which could result in a sudden fracture of the trailing arm. This could lead to a loss of vehicle control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  Correction: Dealers will install a sheet metal inlay on both rear axle trailing arms.  The inlay is designed to help prevent the sudden loss of vehicle control should a rear axle trailing arm fracture occur if undiagnosed/unrepaired damage exists from a previous rear or side-rear impact/crash.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"42G8","part_number":null,"units":87887,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, si les bras oscillants de l'essieu arrière sont endommagés lors d'une collision arrière ou latérale arrière et qu'un établissement de réparation ne diagnostique pas correctement ou ne remplace pas correctement des composants endommagés de l'essieu arrière, la durabilité des bras oscillants arrière pourrait être réduite, ce qui pourrait causer une rupture soudaine du bras oscillant. Cela pourrait entraîner une perte de contrôle du véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de collision pouvant endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser une tôle encastrée sur les deux bras oscillants de l'essieu arrière. Cette tôle encastrée est conçue pour aider à empêcher la perte de contrôle soudaine du véhicule en cas de fracture d'un bras oscillant de l'essieu arrière si le véhicule présente des dommages non diagnostiqués ou non réparés attribuables à une collision arrière ou latérale arrière."},"vehicles":[{"year":2012,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"BEETLE","vehicle_id":"2012_volkswagen_beetle","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2013,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"BEETLE","vehicle_id":"2013_volkswagen_beetle","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2011,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","vehicle_id":"2011_volkswagen_jetta","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2012,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","vehicle_id":"2012_volkswagen_jetta","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2013,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","vehicle_id":"2013_volkswagen_jetta","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2014464"}
